by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)
Grustja i plača i smejas'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Grustja i plača i smejas',
Zvenjat ruč'i moich stichov
U nog tvoich,
I každyj stich
Bežit, pletët živuju vjaz',
Svoich ne znaja beregov.
No skvoz' chrustal'nye strui
Ty daleka mne, kak byla…
Pojut i plačut chrustali…
Kak mne sozdat' čerty tvoi,
Čtob ty prijti ko mne mogla
Iz očarovannoj dali?
